The stream on the site is an unnamed tributary to Stirrup Iron Creek, Class C, Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW), in the Neuse River Basin. In response to the NOV, DWQ received several submittals from several parties. The submittals are listed in Attachment A. At the request of each party, DWQ met to discuss the responses. On May 26, 2010, DWQ met with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. staff who were representing Wal-Mart Stores East, LP and on June 16, 2010, DWQ met with Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA and Priest, Craven & Associates, Inc who were representing Shiloh Morrisville LLC.

Two devices remain as temporary skimmer basins on the site. Records were not provided to DWQ as required by the NPDES General Permit. Please respond to these items. In order to resolve the violations cited in the March 12, 2010 Notice of Violation, the 401 Water Quality Certification and Buffer Authorization (DWQ Project # 04-1764) will need to be implemented on site as approved or appropriately modified.
